Dang! First Which Way LA bites the dust now this? We need local reporting with a local perspective and local expertise. Thank God for Streetsblog LA but I’ll miss CurbedLA!

This is bad news
"….the Curbed LA newsletter, which will blast into your inbox every other Friday…"If there are no new stories and the archives are online, what’s in the newsletter? And I haven’t seen rental stories in a few months, you know, what $1200 rents in 4 different places.

To compare I live and sell homes in Encino Park section of SFV. The original houses are 2+1 with 1-car garages, 783-812 sqft SFD on average 5600-6000 sqft lots for approx the same price. Welcome to the San Fernando Valley to get waaaaay more for your $.

My first and last comment on this site after reading daily for years – Thank you Curbed, you provided great (although biased) insights into life on the ground in Los Angeles. And an always lively comments section.

Sad day. Not a total shock since I’ve seen many of the other city-specific Curbed sites shut down as well? Is the New York City page headed down the same path? Have not seen the announcement.

I think I have been reading since near the beginning when I "eavesdropped" on a fellow student’s computer in class during grad school and have been hooked ever since. I have learned an incalculable amount about Los Angeles & real estate from the articles & lively discussions spurred by the regulars. Though more commercial/planning story oriented, I always appreciated the eagle-eye commentors on the residential listings who could pick out things/nuances in the picturesI never would have on my own.

That’s funny, I would characterize Curbed’s evolution as "from a scrappy real estate gossip blog, to a mouthpiece for Huizar and his bffs, to some outrage-peddling clickbait." And yet here I am, bidding thee a fond farewell. See you at Urbanize.

Lol, Lady would like to speak to the manager

Never change dear Lady

If you find another site like this let us know

It’s crazy but I’m really going to miss this site. See some of you over at Urbanize LA. And the rest of you, good luck out there!

My own amusing "Curbed-LA" story happened maybe 12-13 years ago— and under a different username… I had a massive baby-blue Dentist’s Chair, made in the late 1950’s and I made a place for it in my tiny Elysian Park rental house, at least until it came time for the Landlady to cash in and evict us (and boy, did she). I decided I had no choice but to sell the big chair and its hydraulics to ‘some imaginary cool person.’
After getting no interest for it on Craigslist for $500, $300, $100, free.. I ranted to CurbedLA one night after a few glasses of wine. I complained about the lack of any appreciation of what is "cool" anymore, and the throngs of what I called "artificial hipsters" who were pouring into our neighborhood at the time with their Ikea furniture; they were just boring. Because who wouldn’t want a baby-blue Dental Chair to go with their new Echo Park Lifestyle? "They’re all frauds!" I complained.
Well, Curbed-LA editors wrote back immediately and made it clear they do NOT comment on anyone’s commitment to art or design, and that it is just possible— making room for a 500-pound medical lounge-chair is a tall order for anyone purchasing a tiny Echo Park house in light-grey tones.
Also they suggested I might want to see a therapist.
I did, but she only encouraged me.
But then they asked me to send them photos of the chair anyway, and Curbed-LA editors cut-and-pasted the photos of my Chair into some of their available home listings.. suddenly there was my Dental Chair in a living-room! There was my Dental Chair at the pool! Also they correctly pointed out that it was an Optometrist’s Chair, not a Dental Chair so of course I was mortified. That chair eventually occupied a corner of the Bootleg Theater’s lobby.
I am recalling all this by memory, so I may have left something out.. but I’m glad I had
something important to contribute to the discussion here at Curbed-LA. Thank you!
